| the espadrille |

the weekend was beautiful.  Sunday cooled down a bit so we decided to park the chevy on the coast and ride our beach cruisers to the carlsbad fair.  it was really overwhelming - tons of vendors, food and people, people, people BUT fun.  by the end of the day my feet were killing me.  Anyway, lesson learned.  I have been on the hunt for comfy closed toe shoes, especially with our upcoming Europe trip; enter the espadrille.  they are so dang cute and look so dang comfy.  if they can provide comfort and no blisters i think i've found my shoe of the summer.

| TRENDING FOR SPRING: TAKE 3 |

happy monday! I cannot believe we're already well on our way into April!  This week marks my birthday week- it's funny how quick these birthdays come and go.  Since I can remember, my dad has always reminded me to make every day count because the years just fly by: when I was younger I couldn't wait to be 16 to drive, 18 to be an adult, 21 to drink.....boy, he was right, time flies!
Anyway, the third trend I am so excited to talk about is all about pink!  I absolutely love pink but I sometimes fear it's not my best color: I much prefer a hot vibrant pink than a soft pink because of my skin tone but pink in any hue is huge for spring.  The great thing about this trend is you can wear accents, like a great handbag or shoe; like the valentino rock stud pump (which have been on my wish-list for forever) to get the trend across or wear a bright bold dress; it's really versatile and really screams spring!!
